Could you update this?
Seems outdated

Docs

Queries can accept a sort parameter that allows sorting on one or multiple fields with the following syntaxes:

  • GET /api/:pluralApiId?sort=value to sort on 1 field
  • GET /api/:pluralApiId?sort[0]=value1&sort[1]=value2 to sort on multiple fields (e.g. on 2 fields)

The sorting order can be defined with:

  • :asc for ascending order (default order, can be omitted)
  • or :desc for descending order.

Here’s the updated one :-
GET /users?sort[0]=date&pagination[limit]=50
